This silicone beast has a wonderful G-spot-seeking curve and phenomenal ribs and scales to hit your every sweet spot. Powerful multispeed vibrations reverberate along the shaft right up to the orgasmic tip.

I have recently had the very good fortune to hear back from someone who asked for help on this blog, who wanted to say that my recommendations...well. Let's just say he was emphatically pleased with his new toys.

I'll be posting his letter a bit later this week with links to the toys he tried out, but in the meantime, I thought it was a good time to rediscover some of the best toys out there for men who don't like the look of the old fake-vagina toys.

Unlike men, women have a wide range of toys available - women enjoy vibrators, dildos, bullets, lubes, vibrating panties, dual-tipped vibes... on and on and on. Really, there is no end to the range of toys available for women.

But what is out there for men, especially for men who do not like the look of anatomically-representative toys like Fleshlight or dolls or other bits and bobs that are made to look like body parts?

For the man who is a little squigged out by fake pussies, fake anuses, and even fake mouths, It can seem like there isn't much out there.

But do not lose hope, Men Who Hate Pseudo-Body Part Toys! There are toys out there that are much more discreet, more subtle, less cringeworthy! I present to you, the Top 5 Toys for Men Who Like Cool Toys:

Last year Lovehoney ran an Erotic Story Competition to encourage you to try your hand at writing an erotic story involving one of our sex toys.

We received more than 100 entries so our judges, sex author Julie Peasgood, Black Lace author Angel Blake, and Lovehoney's Head Buyer Bonny Hall had a hard - but enjoyable! - time picking the winners.

The winner of the £500 first prize was Carly Drew, pictured here after someone cruelly Superglued her hands to her head. (Well, it's either that or she's been inspired by the cover of this month's Erotic Book Club choice!)

The powerful 2-speed Power Pak delivers knee-trembling sensations to the Silver Micro-Bullet - and wow, check out the wild shapes of the sleeves!

The L-shaped sleeve reaches sweet spots you never even knew existed. Switch to the Triple Invader and you can guarantee that bells will ring long into the night.Sorry but we're all out of the Vibrating Bullet Kit but you can read about our latest free offer here.
